50/50 on never going back to the gym again. or just going earlier in the day to avoid that dude.

Welcome to the real world kiddo. Learn to say something, time to use your words like a big boy.
Stand up for yourself. Next time you tell that faggot, "Hey, I'm using that!" In the least pussy voice you can let out. Strength training begins in the mind, this is your first test.
? Its basic gym etiquette biggest goes first, then smaller etc until new guys
Fuck off, dyels pay the same rate as roidmonkeys they can use the equipment whenever they please
kek
I'd imagine smaller people have more of a reason to go to the gym. You don't go to a restaurant when you're full.
For reference I'm a 19yo 6'3 king of skellies
Something tells me it was an honest mistake, no one really trains with an empty bar so maybe he just thought you were moseying around and weren't using it. Were you right in front of it? If it wasn't a mistake you should have said something everyone in the gym would have defended you.
Then again you're kind of wasting a bar I'm sure there are some of those premade weights lying around somewhere.
Listen here faggot, you remember this moment, internalize it, savor your autism and your helplessness. Bathe in it, bathe in your pathetic autistic moment. Now you get angry. NO YOU'RE NOT ANGRY ENOUGH. Now use your anger and bring out this moment thats been burned into your retinas and brain. Everytime you load weights onto the bar, every time you step into the gym, visualize your anger and lift hard. Make the anger fuel you and your gains/PRs.
Next time that faggot comes around you better react maggot. I don't care if you whisper or autistically screech in anger, you tell him that you got a few sets left and he can't work in. If he touches you, go to the gym staff and bitch. Do everything in your power to be a fucking nuisance. Carve out your space in your gym. and most importantly YOU GO BACK TOMORROW.

I always hate doing this shit to people. I get tunnel vision and just just using equipment if no one is using it right then and there. At least most people are understanding.
Odds are that guy was the same. Busy, in a hush, and just started working it.
desu he probably just thought you weren't using it since the bar was empty.
if he was obviously trying to be a dick though, dont be scared of big guys, whats he gonna do, knock you out in the gym?
>If he touches you, go to the gym staff and bitch.
everything is right until this part
dont be a pussy and a snitch OP, if he touches you and you just fight back. even if you definitely get your ass kicked, its better than being a pussy, and people will respect you.
Next time hide in the corner and throw 2.5lb plates at him. You can get stronger if you follow an LP and eventually get up to chucking 45lb plates, at which point he will almost certainly leave the gym. Make sure you hide well so he doesnt see you, a good idea would be to stack some of those boxes people use to jump on and get behind those.
Also, its important that you dont throw them at his head, because if you get caught that could mean legal trouble, just hit his shins so he gets annoyed and bruised a bit.
I do this too sometimes but I end up just taking the weight off the bar while someone is using it. How the fuck am I supposed to know anyone is using it when no one is sitting or standing around the squat rack.
you're going to get him killed user. He can't even OHP the goddamn bar (assuming it isn't all bait).
>45lbs plate comes flying from across the room
>slams into shin, breaking it in half
>sues the austist
Now it's time to get big enough to do the same thing to him or some other dyel complete the cycle.
Thats a good point, however for a beginner building muscle and strength is important, so you should still follow linear progression. You still want to progress and throw heavier plates but just next to him, without hitting him, to frighten him. This way he gets scared and you get gains and can kick him out of your gym.
Also make sure you cropdust him whenever he's talking to Stacey for bonus points.
Was wasting a bar. If youre gonna do OHP with just the bar, get some dumbbells instead.
Stand your ground. As someone who used to get in a lot of fights, you almost always lose when your the one who started it. The guy will either apologise and let you get on or threaten you.the threat is basically worthless, if he punched you he gets banned from the gym, you can sue the guy and you win. This is the reality of the situation, I’m pissed about it because I used to love throwing my weight about and enjoyed a good fight.
shut the fuck up, that's a great way to get into a legal snafu and get kicked out of the gym, you really need to learn how the real world works. This is terrible advice.
Kek
Don't do this. Challenge him, square up but don't get too close, make a scene and eventually the gym staff and the other lifters will step in to diffuse the situation, letting both of you back out while saving face and not getting hurt...
Unless he waits outside till your done and kicks your head in.
Speaking of which why is tipping the receptionist a thing? I don't tip the secretary when I go to the dentist, why is the gym different?
>2017
>Not kicking the enemy in his nuts as hard as possible on his last ohp rep
people who don't tip the receptionist are the only people worth gym bullying
What's the logic behind it though?
Waitresses take your order, get you food, help you lodge complaints, and refill your drinks when you want, what the fuck do receptionists do besides signing me in?
It's a meme
>not having a barcode scanner.
>be newb of a few months lifting
>doing squats, setting a new PR
>really happy about it
>some jacked chad approaches, laughs at my form and tells me I'm never going to make it
>feel like shit
>never made it
Honestly situations like that have been a godsend for me as its given me an excuse to ask for advice. Some guys helped me when I was trying to get form for squats the other day, and another guy asked if I was using a bar I was standing next to, and while I wasnt using it I asked what I was supposed to use for another lift. Everyone at the gym has been super nice
he made you his bitch, remember that.
All the more reason to join the homegym masterrace
>be gay autist gymcel
>see cute twink boy struggling to OHP the empty bar
>expel the flood of "squatting in the OHP rack" Veeky Forums memes from my mind and start rehearsing ways to talk to him
>figured the best way to break the ice is to OHP 2 plates and impress him
>did so
>moments later see him walk away in dejection
>realized that I've actually never spoken to him broken any ice
>mfw
you're not a bad person or anything but if you hit that guy you'll have to hear more bull shit if you can't kill him and hide the body in one hit lol.
also work out at home, poor faggot.
I mean, just say when he's racking it up that you're using it. Unless he's looking for a fight I don't what the problem is.
>"Hey man I was actually just using that".
Why it would stop you working out I dont know
if he touches you then its ok to slam him in the face with a db while he is benching and make sure crushes that little faggots skull.
Kek I'm a dyel and I've done this before. Just don't be a pussy, if I see an empty bar I'm assuming it's free so just say something if you're using it no one is gonna hate you. I guarantee that guy didn't even realise you were in the middle of your sets
kek'd
>be at gym
>see bar empty
>add weights and work out
>move to next exercise
that’s why you start with 25s, you autist
you won’t break anything if you warm him up properly first
at my gym its actually encouraged to knock out manlets
We go to to restaurants when we are already full. That's how you become a mutant, c'mon!
Fiiiiive platesssss
it's my only human contact i'd only spend it on steam games anyway. i can always hear her and the other receptionist smiling and laughing when I walk away into the gym though so its nice to know you're making someones day
i was in the same position, just know that with your height, with enough food and training, you'll be huge soon.
Any tips and/or diet advice
Is this real?
Bro just tell the roid monkey you're using the weights. He won't hit you. Sometimes big bois dont notice DYELets because you're too busy on your phones or dont leave something near the equipment to let others know it's being used
10/10
There's plenty of different equipment at a gym, if something's taken you do something else while you wait. If you're that big you presumably have a bunch of other routines you can do, or if it's your last then drink some fucking water and chill out for a bit.
...
It's just the bar, you can use any bar quick time, so it's not a big deal desu.
Because similar to camwhores and professional cuddlers they found a niche of lonely losers willing to give them money for a sense if gratification and human contact, as shallow as it might be
OP you better listen to this guy
Go you are one giant fag if you let this 1 thing scare you away from getting a good bod.
The bro probably didnt do it intentionally stop crying online and get your dyel ass into a gym.
>Be skinny DYEL who just started lifting
>Heading over to the bench press
>See even skinnier Chang benching 95lb
>Heh im bigger than him, I can bench more than that
>Put on 105lb and start banging out reps
>Chang is starring at me during the whole set
>Chang jumps up and throws on another 10lb plate on either side, upping it to 115lb.
>He looks as me as he starts to struggle out 5 reps
>Thats it Chang, youre going down. Up my weight to 125lb, im a skinny DYEL and this is a lot for me
>Crack out 5 slow reps before glancing over at Chang
>The madman has taken off all his weight and is putting on 45's
>I think, fuck Chang dont do it man, we are both just DYELs messing around, dont do this
>Think maybe he is one of those skinny asians that can bench 400lb like a video I saw
>Oh fuck Chang is going to humiliate me
>As Chang lifts up the whopping 135lb and begins to bend his arms the weight immediately drops on his chest and rolls to his neck
>Chang lays there until medics come
>Chang is taken out on a stretcher
>This was two weeks ago
>Havnt seen Chang since
someone post that webm of the swedish kid that got fought back and got paralyzed from the neck down
This exact thing happened to me but the opposite actually
>Go to gym to do some OHP
>See lanky kid around rack (only one in my shit gym) think he not using it since ive never seen that kid use the rack for anything before
>Go and start warming up, adding plates and shit.
>Kid comes up to me and tells me hes using the rack
>"Shit bro, my bad, mind if I work in?"
> Tells me its fine
>See his shit form, help him out
>Kid end up with better ohp technique and happy af, thanks me and shit
>"Any time dude"
You gotta speak up user, people are not usually mean spirited, they just didnt notice you
its important to remember that your average gym guy is a fucking retard, and probably didnt even notice you
OP got cucked,
bradley martin guy shoulda started lifting it while staring at OP
>not tipping the dentist secretary
Damn. Why didn't they cast Alex Jones as yhe Flasg
This. Maybe it's different in some socialist hellhole countries, though.
This. Unless you go to a planet fitness tier gym, grab a lifting buddy who can at least 1/2/3/4 if you want to get your sets done with any timeliness.
Are you serious? We greet every single person. Every single day. We check them in. Every single day. We are the face of the gym. We're cheering you on everyday, even when you look like you don't want to be there. When you leave having hit a PR we're beaming for you inside. We're like the groupies of our gym. I would think that at the very least you would want to tip us to show your appreciation.
I'm also in same boat, just eat way more then you think you can handle. You have to fucking force-feed yourself all the the time.
Chang :(
